Rational Design for Enhanced Acyltransferase Activity in Water Catalyzed by the <i>Pyrobaculum calidifontis</i> VA1 Esterase

Biocatalytic transesterification is commonly carried out employing lipases in anhydrous organic solvents since hydrolases usually prefer hydrolysis over acyl transfer in bulk water. However, some promiscuous acyltransferases can catalyze acylation in an aqueous solution. In this study, a rational de...
